TELEPHONE SPECIAL RANGE No. 1016 | |||||||
TELECOMMUNICATIONS INSTRUCTION SPECIAL RANGE TELEPHONE (SRT) This instruction deals with the physical description, field of use, title and identification of the telephone. DESCRIPTION Another ill-fated attempt to give the Trimphone another lease of life came when some bright spark had the idea of cladding the telephones in leather. The cases discoloured rapidly from finger grease and other contaminations but this did not deter the Post Office from including these unfortunate instruments in their Special Range in 1980 under the Deltaphone name. Made by STC, the Deltaphone was just a leather covered Trimphone, with a Plug No. 505. This plug was covered with a small sheaf, which was supposed to stop the plug being removed from the socket. Manufacturer: STC Variants: TSR 1006A - DELTAPHONE with dial, mid-brown. TSR 1016A - DELTAPHONE DELUXE with push button keypad. Red, green (see above). TSR 8006A - As TSR No. 1006A but with PST line cord. TSR 8016A - As TSR No. 1016A but with PST line cord. More information on Telephones Special Range
